shabarivas · 05-18-2009, 06:30 PM

rreign · 05-18-2009, 06:34 PM

I'm looking for a little less expensive

+1 on those tires though

shabarivas · 05-18-2009, 06:37 PM

I ran some Toyo T1Rs on my G and they were close to the same stock spec on the Z - you can find em for 1000 for all corners shipped

rreign · 05-18-2009, 06:40 PM

That's more in my price range! I'll have to check em out. We'll see if they have my size

Someone here bought some Nitto Invo's a month or so ago. Do a search see if you can find him.

I did the search and the only person I found with pics and input on the Invo's was you. So are those yours? If so how do you like them? What'd you pay etc.

IIRC, when I checked on these, it didn't seem like they were available in 225/50R18 (stock size for fronts on Touring without Sport package) although the rears were listed (245/45R18). Did I just miss them somehow?

No, I have Bridgestone RE-11's and Nitto NT01's. The Bridgestone's wouldn't be my first choice as a street tire, they are designed for street class auto-cross. The NT01's are grooved race tires.

Mike at DDM bought the Invo's for his street tires, also Lou at Amplified has them as well.

Thanks man. I couldn't find anything that they posted, but I'll have to get up with them.

So I have decided that I needed to revamp my idea of the Work wheels. The expense of the custom make plus the wheel itself and shipping came to $3100 and that's without buying tires. I have decided to go with Forgestar F05s Two-Tone. 19x9 (F) and 19x10 (R) I will also be going with Nitto Invo 265/35s (F) and 285/30s (R) Total price will be around $2500. I save $600 and get everything I want/need for a great set-up!

Hmm dont like the F14's? And you should really get a 10 up front and a 11 in the rear... its a waste of space!!!!!

I really like the lip on the rear wheels. To me, they look way more agressive. Any particular reason you think I should go with 10/11 in comparison to 9/10 ?? I was going for more practicality and performance than looks.

I don't think the RE-11s are objectionable for the street. Noise and ride comfort are on par with the RE050A IMO. Tread wear is a concern, but if they are inline with the RE01Rs, then it should be decent.

The RE-11s have a treadwear rating of 180 which is actually higher than the RE050As. The RE050A are listed at 140 for some sizes.

I was willing to make a compromise as a street tire, these are primarily being used for street class auto-cross. My tires will last 1 year if I'm lucky. They aren't the quietest tire as they are wide, but they aren't any worse than the stock RE050A's.

for the street im running stock sizes on the sport wheel. Nittos Nt-05's they really put the power down. Track tested also, much better then the bridgestones...
